PHONE 54-J ANAHE LOSE CONTEST FOR STRICTER RULINGS ON FROSTED FRUIT The prospect of making stricter rules on shipment of frozen fruit is ended. This on the authority of a man in close touch with the California Frut Growers' Exchange. According to this man, the opposition on the part of districts in close competition with certain independents, who, it is alleged, will not even consider the matter of having the law changed, is mainly responsible. Also, districts which suffer little if any from cold weather and those when are under constant fear of loss from it, cannot agree on the measure of additional protection of the public which should be given. The 1915 law, therefore, will stand. An additional factor since Feb. 1, also, has been that the danger period is over and there is no longer any need of a stricter law. The State Dept. of Agriculture has been playing umpire in the discussions, and while in favor of maintaining as high a standard as possible hasn't taken any hand. DIGS UP EGGS 5 INCHES ACROSS CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich., March 12.—Seven dark blue eggs, about five inches in diameter, were unearthed on a farm near Mastodon by Ivan Petrotski while engaged in blasting stumps, it was learned today. Shells of the eggs gave out a metallic sound when struck with a sledge hammer. One of them was broken and showed a perfect stage of preservation. The Smithsonian institution will be asked to analyze the eggs, one of which is to be incubated by Petrotski. It Pays to Advertise in the Orange County Plain Dealer. CAMP FIRE GIRLS AID UN-FORTUNATE AUSTRAIN CHILDREN When the Camp Fire Girls of Seattle, Wash., learned of the unfortunate plight of the children of Austria, where feet are improperly shod and clothes of real warmth are a scarcity, they decided to forget the luxury of candy and ice cream and give all their change toward a fund to provide shoes and clothing for the little Austrians. Little Rosemary Pinkney, smallest of the Campfire Girls, is shown here with a patchwork shoe received from Austria and which is used as a collection box for the fund.

LINK COTTON E OUT- EVANGELIST FLAYS GAMBLING, DANCING Yesterday was a day of big attendance and wonderful enthusiasm at all the services at the Christian Tabernacle. In the morning T. Adams, southern representative of the Clark Evangelistic Fund and Mr. Stephens of Los Angeles, were present at and took some part in the morning service. In the evening a great crowd filled the Tabernacle to listen to the sermon of Evangelist Vawter on "The Devil." Preceeding the sermon was a song service and musical program. The people were much pleased with the special selection of the orchestra. The evangelist rad th diamissal of the Devil, Rev. 20, where his punishment begins to last forever. "The Devil is always made to look hideous by artists and that no doubt pleases the Old Boy," said Vawter, "for he comes as an angel of light, perhaps with the benign face and beautiful apparel." If he would come looking like his picture we would at once recognize him and say "excuse us, Mr. Devil, we are busy elsewhere, can't go to that dance tonight, have to go to prayer-meeting." "The Devil is a very smart fellow because he was with God and saw how God works and then for rebellion was cast out of heaven. He has been experimenting for 6000 years. He causes all kinds of people to stumble. If he falls in one temptation he tries another. The Devil says never mind about tomorrow come with me and I will give you a good time today. The Devil wants to make a drunkard out of a boy and he uses the successful business man who can drink it or leave it alone. A man like that is a menace to the community for the boy sees him as he is today and not the finished product of tomorrow. "Gamblers are made in the home. Mother is induced to join a card club and play for a vase or a jaek-pot, only she does not call it a jack-pot. She plays with her gang and her son goes out and plays with his gang, only he plays for the money and she plays for the vase the money has bought. Yet, she is horrified when she finds it out and says he is gambling. She plays with the same cards he does. Others play for the fun saying it does not hurt them, but what of the other fellow. You may never play for a penny and the one you teach to play may die in a gambler's den. The dance was next considered. "Nice girls do not attend the public dance at first but the devil must have grist to grind so he uses a collection box for the fund." CAINE FILM AMONG BIGGEST OF YEAR Truly one of the notable screen achievements of the year is Goldwyn's picturization of Sir Hall Caine's most successful novel, "The Christian," directed by Maurice Tourneur, which is the attraction at the California theatre. The author collaborated with Goldwyn in making this screen version of his novel—he aided in preparing the continuity, helped Director Tourneur in picking locations and revised and rewrote the titles. Therefore it is fair to judge that the film meets his approval. It certainly meets the approval of the picture going public, for it is a thrilling, emotional drama, built about a big theme, most ably directed and superbly acted. Mr. Tourneur has the especial ability of so photographing a story that it has great pictorial beauty with out any sacrifice of drama or human appeal. "The Christian" is his most ambitious attempt so far and that he has succeeded amply proved last night by the breathless attention with which the unfolding of the story on the screen was received. The cast is composed of notable film players each of whom was skillfully selected for his fitness for the role entrusted to him. Richard Dix as John Storm, the Christian Socialist who tries to live as he believed Christ would, if on earth, has been for a year and more one of the most delightful and interesting of the young screen actors, but for the present portrayal puts him head and shoulders above most of the leading men and proves him an actor of insight, of deepening resources and of great variety. Mae Busch also materially advances her standing as a player by her skillful handling of the difficult role of Glory Quayle. Others who do excellent work are Phyllis Haver, Gareth Hughes, Mahon Hamilton, Claude Gfflingwater, Cyril Chadwick, Joseph Dowling, Harry Nortup and Beryl Mercer. If you would see the biggest and best film of the year, do not miss "The Christian." It's at the top of the list. goes out and plays with his gang, only he plays for the money and she plays for the vase the money has bought. Yet, she is horrified when she finds it out and says he is gambling. She plays with the same cards he does. Others play for the fun saying it does not hurt them, but what of the other fellow. You may never play for a penny and the one you teach to play may die in a gambler's den. The dance was next considered. "Nice girls do not attend the public dance at first but the devil must have grist to grind so he uses the parlor dance. At the dance the tough is always found. Some nice people go but the tough is always there and is ready to talk in a dirty way about each girl present, in a way they would not do before her brother. Ninety percent of all the girls who go the downward path go by the way of the ball room. If only one per cent went we ought to close the ball-room for the sake of the one," said the evangelist. "You would want to if it was your girl." The audience was carried away by the message and showed their enthusiasm by most of the audience standing to their feet thus declaring that they would not practice drinking, card playing or dancing, and would do all they could to influence others to refrain from doing these things.

FILMS "The Four Horsemen" broke all records for a film run in London, being withdrawn after its 310th performance at the Palace theater. It surprised us to learn that the previous record was held by "Way Down East." The editorial moral? Well, for one thing, emotions are about the same in one country as another. And so are the people. If all nations realized this, they might war against each other less often. A. E. Bernsteen, named by Harding as United States district attorney for northern Ohio, was defeated twice for county prosecutor. Had he been defeated three times, Uncle Warren would probably have made him a judge. MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME, 10 MILES AWAY Sherman Chandler, a former Lawrence County man who lives two miles west of Beaver, is so home-sick he can hardly live. All his talk is about Kentucky and the good-old times he used to have back home. Beaver (O.) correspondence, Big Sandy (Ky.) News. “Regardless of theory,” says Chancellor of the Exchequer Baldwin of Great Britain, in speaking of the mains to be seen what is the effect when large remittances are made from one country to another.” The only new thing about remittances will be that they will come into the United States. Going out is the old stuff. Dorothy Stone, Fred's daughter, says she can understand her father's conversation and his decision to give his thoughts and income to Christianity, but she can't understand how it happened in Butte. It's plain enough to us. Fred got a taste in Butte of what one branch of the hereafter is and decided to take no chances. TAIRYLAND Theatre Anaheim Tomorrow Only! Herb Jack's Advershow" A Riot!
